Test Drive Meme | #31


TEST DRIVE MEME - TU SHANSHU EDITION!
Itching to try out writing a character? Then rev up your engines, grab your accounts, and slam your way into this meme! Here is a venue for you to try out whatever character there might be tickling your fancy, from fandom to OC, for as few as one and as many as MANY. Seriously, there's no limit.

How do you partake in this fantastic congregation of character testing? Why, by following these simple steps:
    → Comment with the journal of a character you want to test; put their name and canon in the subject line for added sparkles.
    → Tag around with everyone!
    → Profit like you live on a the back of a turtle!
    → Maybe even RESERVE so you CAN live on the back of a turtle!
But wait, there's more! For the low, low price of $9,999.99, you can even use one of our handy prompts when you tag someone. You could even pick one with a Random Number Generator to help decide which prompt to go with!
  1. Haggling Over Something in the Marketplace!
    Maybe someone else saw the exact same shiny thing you did at the exact same moment! However shall this be resolved? Remember: blood is extremely hard to scrub off of turtle shell!

  2. Dramatic Chase Sequence!
    You're running away from something! It could be anything, from a rampaging kirin to a gaggle of overly enthusiastic children! One way or another, you can't stop, and much like a katamari ball, you feel obligated to grab everyone in your path along the way to keep them out of danger! Or perhaps you're more the sort to try and knock them into it as a distraction...?

  3. Where There's A Will, There's A...?
    The Life and Dreaming Planes have been merged, and sometimes what start out as wishful thinking becomes lured into reality. That slick new motorcycle or pile of kingly treasure you were just daydreaming about? Surprise! Though it may only stay for a short while before it disappears again, so make it count. Hopefully you're not the type to daydream about terrible things befalling people you don't like...

  4. SECRET UNDERCOVER MODE ACTIVATE!
    The three major kedan families all have their own agendas, and you've chosen to entangle yourselves with one (or more!) of them. Are you hoping to shift the balance of power? Gain some favours? Perhaps you're on a mission to bring a criminal to justice, or maybe you just want to get the cream of the crop from the black market.

  5. WILDCARD!
    Go nuts. Suddenly your character is fighting dragons! Good God, they've found the Millennium Falcon drifting in the ocean! Do you really feel the need to polish every paving stone in the Earth Sector? Please note, Wildcard options can also be what you can choose to do if you aren't yet comfortable in the Tu Shanshu setting, and would prefer a more 'dear-mun'-esque experience. Please specify in your post!

Not as of yet. It appears the spell that brings people here and also returns them home is a mystery; the ones who were in charge of maintaining it are now dead and the spell has gone rogue. All that means is that we will become temporary residents until we've resolved that.

[ Lutece doesn't give up just like that, but pragmatism is rather the only option here. At Nate's relaxation, Lutece huffs quietly and crosses his arms in acceptance of the reply. ]

There's an establishment called the Midnight Hotel that is run by another resident like us, what they call a foreigner. An odd man, but fair.
magicfordummies: (disapprove.)

We'll have to look into it. Have you found any concrete data on the spell, or are we going to have to tease it out of thin air?

[Nate sighs a little, but at least it's an interesting problem, and between them they can probably make some progress.]

Odd?

[Someone Lutece terms odd. Hm.]

At least he's fair. Odd how?
dungeoneer: (☧gonna short-circuit my identity)

[personal profile] dungeoneer 2015-10-08 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
None whatsoever. It used to be much more controlled and intentional, yet no one was privy to how it worked. We'll be following in the footsteps of the dead.

[ They can definitely make progress. It had to be documented somewhere, right? ]

Well... his demeanor is very emotionless. He is also a rather intimidating man, but he appears to have a complete ideal system around being neutral to any on his grounds.
magicfordummies: (mrh?)

[personal profile] magicfordummies 2015-10-09 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...guess we'll be here a while, then.

[It's not like Nate minds putting in the effort. It's just... annoying when there's so little to start with. The sigh becomes a disgruntled huff, and Nate folds his arms.]

What, completely neutral? Does the man have nothing he cares about?

[Weird and implausible, so far as Nate's concerned.]

A while, but if what the natives say is true, then we won't be missed while we're gone. No one will notice our absence.

[ Which is troubling in and of itself, yet also poses an opportunity unseen anywhere else. ]

Apparently not. Aside from his Hotel, he would appear willing to maintain this neutrality at whatever cost. Of course... that's what he says his stance is, at any rate.

[ There's a beat, then Lutece just can't keep it in any longer. ]

Their moon glows at night here.
magicfordummies: (--!)

[personal profile] magicfordummies 2015-10-11 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm. It seems a hard way to live.

[Nate is giving all this careful thought, skeptical but willing to roll with it. However, in true Lutece fashion, the last question is a perfect distraction. Nate drops all the previous thoughts to look up, like he's going to see the moon glowing at this hour.]

That's... obviously it's not impossible, but. Really?
